DurhamEnable were amazing. They already had quite a list of people who were job seeking and had disabilities or learning disabilities. They worked with us to create an interview process. Because we’ve used the Access to Work scheme for all our employees, they’ve provided assistance for that. They’ve provided support workers. We couldn’t have done it without them.”

Recruiting with DurhamEnable
DurhamEnable provides a tailored recruitment service at no cost to you.
We match you with jobseekers who we know the skills and needs of, who are suited for your business environment.
To ensure you can be confident you are hiring the right employee, we can organise a work trial or work experience that can transition into paid employment after a fixed period.
A work trial helps a potential employee get comfortable with the workspace and lets them showcase their ability to do the job.
With an interview, many disabled or neurodivergent candidates may find it difficult to sell a panel of interviewers on their strengths and skills.
There is no guarantee someone who performs well in an interview will perform well on the job, and you stand to lose money if you need to restart the recruitment process.
With a work trial organised with DurhamEnable, you can recruit with confidence.
Retaining Staff
Staff turnover is a concern for any business, and its something we look out for as well. We want our service users to be fulfilled and comfortable in their new jobs, and we can help you achieve this.
We can offer you and your staff free training on integrating someone with a disability, autism, or mental health needs into your team.
The ongoing support we provide to our service users in work mean we can also identify when an employee is struggling for any reason, and work with you to resolve the issue.
Working with and retaining an inclusive workforce also helps feed a culture of positivity in your company, which can raise morale and improve retention among colleagues. For more information on recruiting with us, get in touch!
